She woke up from her memories and saw that Xu Haoyang had finished his performance and was shaking hands with the singer and hugging. She adjusted her mood and applauded her partner with the others with the same expression as usual. Xu Haoyang returned to the table from the stage, I don't know if it was because of the heat or nervousness, a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.

This long-awaited piano performance clearly excited him, and after sitting down for a long time, his breathing was still fast, and his eyes were always shining.

Not only Han Lu, even Zhang Lei, who has been with him for so many years, is difficult to see Xu Haoyang so excited.

Jin Ke'er, who was wearing a white dress, walked over, and after praising Xu Haoyang's piano from the bottom of her heart, she turned her gaze to Han Lu with a smile.

The two of them have always been tense opponents on the court in the past, but off the court, because Han Lu doesn't have any thoughts and awareness of having a good relationship with people, she also has to hide at the party after the game, so the two don't have much intersection.

Therefore, when she faced Jin Ke'er, who was also wearing a dress, in a dress that she was not used to, her heart was a little awkward.

Jin Keer is a very gentle person, in the past, he often couldn't speak clearly when he encountered difficulties from reporters, but now he has grown up a lot better, and he has learned to put pressure on his opponent through the air like other players, but he can still be a little timid. Otherwise, Han Lu said that she was the heroine of Korean dramas, and she was indeed very expressive.

"I'm looking forward to your performance tomorrow. Jin Keer said.

This is also very magical, a sentence that sounds obvious to others is a social rhetoric, but when Jin Keer says it, it seems that people can hear ten percent sincerity.

"You too. Han Lu said.

Then, Han Lu used these three words to twist a topic that could have been opened back to the level of "past opponents, social in the audience".

The air was a little stiff and embarrassed for a while, and at this time, the staff of the dinner quietly came over, confirmed what was going on with Zhang Lei next to him and left, and then, the other two staff members pushed out a rather ostentatious cake.

"Happy birthday to you. The staff said to Han Lu.

“……”

"Huh? Jin Keer curiously threw out a question mark. "Hey, is it your birthday?"

“…… Tomorrow. ”

Han Lu replied reluctantly.

"Ah, that's right!" Jin Keer clapped her hands, "Happy birthday!"

"I'm relying on me, I'm relying on me," Zhang Lei squeezed over, "Who sent it? Who is so hearted? Hey, Sister Han Lu, you have to tell us about this kind of thing earlier...... Look at our rush, if you say we'll buy you a gift......"

At this time, not only a few of them, but also other people in the dinner party were attracted to the cake, including the reporters who carried cameras and video cameras.

Han Lu didn't particularly like this kind of scene, she didn't like to be the focus of attention outside the ice rink at all, if she had been arrogant and grumpy a few years ago, she might have thrown her face and left on the spot. But now that she had unconsciously restrained her character, and knew that she could not get herself into trouble at a good dinner, she stood there without saying anything—perhaps with a smile on her face.

She also bowed slightly to thank everyone for their birthday wishes.

"Who sent it?" Zhang Lei continued to ask, and at the same time pushed Xu Haoyang. "You sent it?"

“…… Not me. ”

Xu Haoyang looked at such an exaggerated cake, and he was also a little surprised in his heart. He knew Han Lu's birthday, he secretly saw it from the ticket, and then remembered it. The closer this day gets, the more he feels that he probably can't pretend he doesn't know. He couldn't say what it was.

At this time, Han Lu saw the card attached to the cake, she took the card and opened it, and saw that the handwritten blessing was written with these ten words: All the staff of the star brokerage company.

Lu Bolin.

Her complexion immediately sank.

Lu Bolin.

What do you mean?

At this time, half of the overhead lights suddenly went out, and the entire venue suddenly darkened, and when others didn't know what was going on, Lu Bolin, dressed in a white suit, appeared at the dinner scene. He walked straight towards Han Lu with a gentle smile on his face that was the same as before.

He raised his hand to the staff, who understood and immediately began to put candles on the cake.

For Lu Bolin – or for the vast majority of the world, there is never anything that money can't solve. Not to mention turning off half of the lights at a charity dinner to celebrate the birthday of the former figure skating queen alone, even if the mayor of Nagoya said these words himself, he can do it as long as he wants to.

However, after a few minutes of silence, Han Lu mercilessly raised his hand to knock down the candles and lighters in the hands of the staff members to the ground. It's not loud, but it's loud enough for everyone around to hear it.

"What do you mean?" she asked, staring at Lu Bolin.

"What are you talking about? Of course it doesn't make any sense. Lu Bolin still smiled neatly, "Tomorrow is your birthday, and it coincides with this performance, I want to ...... To welcome you back to the rink, celebrate for you, and surprise you. ”

"Surprise?" Han Lu sneered.

At this time, the other people who were waiting for the candles to be lit and the birthday song in the audience also noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and they all turned their eyes to it.

Of course, Han Lu knew that she was being watched by many people at this time, but she couldn't care about it so much.

Since she was injured at the Winter Olympics two years ago, Lu Bolin has been in the hospital to visit her once, and then disappeared in front of her. Then, at a press conference, he famously said that "she may be held legally responsible," and then, as if he was trying to dissociate himself from her, avoided her in all public interviews, as if he knew full well that she would not say anything about it.

Yes, she gritted her teeth and thought, at that time, she would not say anything, and even if she did, no one would want to listen.

But now, what does he mean by that?

Showing goodwill?

Lifting the cake on such a big occasion made up her mind again, to put pressure on her in front of everyone, so that she felt that she had just made a comeback, and she could only cooperate with him if she didn't want to cause trouble?

What is he when she is?

A pawn that comes and goes, and deserves to be used by him?

The frustration and anger that had been building up from the past rushed to her brain in an instant.

"No, I don't have to. She said, "Take your cake out with me." ”

“……”

"Don't you understand?"

"Yes," Lu Bolin raised his hands and smiled, "Some time ago, because I was really busy, I didn't have much energy to care about you. So I deliberately set aside this time, I thought it was a surprise for you, but I didn't expect ......"

"Continue. Han Lu looked at him, and at the same time, she saw the reporter who was carrying the camera and taking pictures of her face. "I'll translate it for you, you deliberately set aside time, take your spokesperson, and today I'm going to write a good story about the president's care for employees with photos and videos? I'm not your employee, Boss Lu, I've terminated the contract. Because I have violated the terms of the contract, you have the right to unilaterally terminate the contract with me. ”

The louder she spoke, the louder she felt, and she knew that she had completely broken the atmosphere of the dinner. In the past, before this kind of out-of-control scene she made turned into a situation from which there was no turning back, someone would always come to finish the round for her.

But today there was no such person, and everyone was silent in the face of her sudden outburst.

Oops.

Very bad, she understood.

But it's irretrievable.

She had to say it, she didn't want to be faced with this too obvious exploitation again and have to cooperate, she had had enough, it was pure insult to her.

Two years - two years passed, and another two years passed. Two years ago, she underwent surgery in trepidation, and two years later she turned thirty, and this fear of time did not disappear for a second, and the years relentlessly reminded her that her time was running out.

Why would she waste her time in such a place?

"Lu Bolin. She stared at him, "What the I know about you." If you want to stay here, you can stay here. This thing - you can shoot as much as you like, and you can write as much as you like. ”

She put the sentence aside and strode straight in the direction of the exit, ignoring her teammates, partners, and the unfinished dinner party standing next to her.

"Sister Han Lu!" Zijun shouted.

“…… Mr. Lu, this ......" Zhang Lei scratched his head curtly.

"It doesn't matter. Lu Bolin was still smiling, "It's just a misunderstanding." ”

"Sister Han Lu, where did she go...... Will she have to speak on behalf of the Chinese team in a while?"

She pushed, and it was the buddy in the men's singles who gave a speech. Zhang Lei said, "But you have to look for it......" He pushed Xu Haoyang, "Haoyang, hurry up, hurry up and look for it." ”

“…… Shall I go?" Xu Haoyang hesitated, "Okay, I feel that this kind of time is usually ......."

"Oh, you inkblot. Zhang Lei scolded him, "You just now were in line with Sister Han Lu and our common enemies, my brother told you, girls are waiting for someone to catch up and coax them at this time, you hurry up." It's up to you, optimistic about you. ”

“……”

Xu Haoyang wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, and ran in the direction of the exit.

Han Lu didn't go too far, and when Xu Haoyang found her, she was sitting on a bench next to the elevator. She was wearing a black dress skirt, and her hair was draped down, which looked very beautiful from a distance, and it was not so commensurate with the mood and situation.

Xu Haoyang is not very good at dealing with such scenes, he has never been able to comfort people, and he does not know how to say the right thing on the right occasion, but at this time, he seems to have to pass.

He walked over and sat down next to Han Lu. Han Lu didn't seem very repulsed by his intrusion into her private sphere for the time being, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

“…… Mr. Lu has already left. He said.

"Oh. ”

"Won't you go back?"

"There are so many people, and there is no one less for me. ”

"Also, too......"

He just answered. When he was done, he almost wanted to strangle himself.

Also what is it!

What does it mean, too!

"Are you in trouble?" asked Han Lu.

"Zhang Lei, they asked me to come out......"

Han Lu glanced at him: "Then you are quite obedient." ”

"Your ......birthday," he said, "I know that." I went out with Zhang Lei yesterday and bought this. He pulled out a small square gift box from his pocket. "A birthday present for you. ”

Han Lu knew the package, Tiffany's, before, she had received this brand of things from Lu Bolin many times, what necklaces, rings, earrings, key chains, Lu Bolin gave a lot of them in front of the camera after the game, which was called a reward for victory. At this point in time, she saw this damn Tiffany blue again, and suddenly ignited the fire that had not been suppressed again.

"You're going to surprise me too?"

She asked.

“…… What?"

"You want to give it to me at the dinner party, too, as a surprise to me, don't you?" she asked, "why do you think I'm going to like it?" or do you think all women like it?"

Xu Haoyang was a little stunned by her sudden temper at first, and then he was also aroused.

"Is it my fault that I gave you a gift?" he asked rhetorically.

"Gifts, they have to be delivered to the right place. Han Lu said word by word, "If you can't send it to the right place, it is that you are moved by yourself, and you are so moved by your desire to express yourself that you don't consider the thoughts of the person who received the gift." ”

"What did I behave?"

"You're not performing. Han Lu said, "You haven't had time to behave yet." ”

Xu Haoyang made an incomparably complicated expression and rolled his eyes.

"I didn't have time to perform ......?"

"I'm not a birthday. Han Lu said, "I don't like it, I haven't done it, I don't want to live it, I don't bother you." ”
